- Tell us something.: "Tell us something" hits me a bit like someone asking me to tell a joke. I can always think of a hundred of them until someone asks me for one. You know how it is. Right now, I can't think of "something" to tell you. But I have to use at least 100 characters to inform you of that.

Dang, it is a teapot. It must be floating over that famous "tea tray in the sky". The guys at NASA definitely need a holiday, or different drugs.

Joel Barish: Is there any risk of brain damage?
Dr. Mierzwiak: Well, technically speaking, the procedure is brain damage.

Take your glasses off.
Put your nose right up to the screen.
Don't look at the pixels on the screen - look behind them.
Slowly draw your face away from the screen.
You may need to move your eyes around a bit to pick up the outline of the object.
Gradually you should be able to bring the image into focus. Don't take your face more than 6-8"away from the screen until you can pick out the outline of the image.
Hopefully that will work for you.

I'd rather be atop the foothills than beneath them.

All you really have to do is focus your eyes on the far distance, even though you're looking at something nearer. For example, hold your finger between your computer monitor and your eyes. Look at your finger. Then look at the monitor, and see how your finger doubles in your vision. It's that doubling that makes the illusion work. Practice keeping your attention on your finger even though your eyes are focused behind it. Practice making the finger double up without having to pick something specific behind it to focus on. You can make any picture or image on your computer screen double up in the same way, by "relaxing" your eyes into the distance. You can control how far the doubles are apart from each other by how much you focus into the distance. Changing how far you are from the picture may help you get different distances. At one particular distance the picture will "snap" into view. Once you get good at it, it's easy to "sweep" through different focus distances without needing to move close to the picture.
Wow! That shark one was good, but it was nothing like this!
I crossed my eyes slightly, leaned forward, and could pick up a teapot-like depression in the colored bits. Focusing on the back of the depression, I sat back and the darned thing came right out of the screen and hung in the air in front of me.
The screen, with the colors, was still behind it. The thing that came out of the screen was something like an envelope with the flap open about 1 cm. The teapot was cut out of the flap. The more I leaned back, the more 3-D it became.
I could put my hand in it, too. Very cool.
Unfortunately, I can't quite get my eyes to uncross now.
